LIVE DISCUSSION: SINsual Lusts of the Flesh (Part 4 of 4)

Send us Fan MailAre you still drinking spiritual milk when you should be feasting on meat? This profound exploration of spiritual growth challenges us to examine our maturity as believers and our readiness to teach others.Drawing from Hebrews 5, we unpack the writer's lament that many Christians remain spiritual infants long after they should have developed into teachers. "For when for the time you ought to be teachers," he writes, "you have need that one teach you again." This powerful indictment reveals how easily we can become stalled in our spiritual development.The conversation takes a fascinating theological turn as we examine Christ's priesthood after the order of Melchizedek. Unlike the Aaronic priesthood which symbolized Christ in His humiliation, Melchizedek represents Christ in His exaltation. We discover the beautiful symbolism of Melchizedek bringing bread and wine to Abraham after his victory—foreshadowing Christ's communion with believers after His ultimate triumph.Perhaps most practical is our discussion about guarding what enters through our "eye gates" and "ear gates." When we consume sinful content for entertainment, we participate in that sin even without physical action. The etymological connection between "pornography" and the Greek word for "fornication" underscores this spiritual reality. What are you allowing into your heart and mind?We also explore the contrast between works of the flesh and fruit of the Spirit. While works require effort, fruit grows naturally through connection with the source. Your relationship with the Spirit isn't based on periodic refilling like a gas tank but on constant contact—like a subway train connected to its power line through Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship.Ready to move beyond spiritual infancy?
